DHAsia 2017 Call for Proposals

DHAsia, a pioneering Digital Humanities initiative at Stanford University, is seeking proposals for its 2017 short-term residency program focused on East, South, Southeast, and Inner/Central Asia.

Directed by Tom Mullaney (Founder of Dissertation Reviews & Associate Professor of Chinese History and History of Technology at Stanford University), DHAsia is supported by the Stanford University Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis (CESTA), the Stanford University Libraries’ Center for Interdisciplinary Digital Research (CIDR) and East Asia Library, the Stanford Confucius Institute, the Stanford Center for East Asian Studies, and the Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies, among other programs and departments.

Scholars working on Asia, in all disciplines and time periods, are welcome to apply. We are particularly eager to identify early-career candidates, ranging from the advanced PhD level (post-comprehensive/oral examination) through Assistant Professor rank or equivalent. All ranks are eligible and encouraged to apply, however.

SUPPORT AND TIMEFRAME

Up to five (5) applicants will be invited to Stanford campus during either Winter or Spring 2017 for an intensive 3-day residency featuring: (a) a 45-minute research talk; (b) a hands-on Digital Humanities clinic for faculty and graduate students (focused on the particular tool/technique/method/platform employed in the scholar’s research); and (c) a schedule of one-on-one meetings with interested faculty and graduate student researchers.

DHAsia will provide each invited resident an honorarium of $800, as well as all travel, lodging, and meals.

The deadline for applications is June 15, 2016. Materials should be submitted via email to 2017@dhasia.org and must include:
